Socialism always starts as a “people’s movement,” with mindless and ignorant people being directed by elitist con men in the background, telling the foolish that by bringing down the “rich,” everyone will share in the abundance that socialism will bring. It is always a lie, and invariably almost all the people end up in poverty, with the exception of the top socialist leaders who live like kings. Fidel Castro is certainly one who has lived that life, and his protege, Hugo Chavez destroyed the Venezuelan economy pursuing the same socialist policies.
When the economy comes crashing down, it is necessary for the leadership to blame an outside source, and when Chavez was alive, he continually named the United States for all of the woes the country was suffering from. In fact, the oil rich country provides 9 percent of the U.S. gross oil imports, which must be a considerable sum of export income to the nation of 30 million people. As such, the U.S. provided a huge portion of the countries income, but Chavez resented that as well.
Venezuela has expropriated foreign and domestic businesses, which means that the people have little invested in the country and are becoming very unhappy with the leadership as it nosedives to complete economic ruin.
For more on the Venezuelan “people’s paradise,” see page 2:
Venezuela looks like an NWO win. The country has totally succumbed to its agenda.
Most of the middle east depends on oil why haven’t they collapsed. Maybe it’s because they didn’t steal most of the foreign investment or introduced failed socialist policies. The president is doing very well, a heck of a lot better then Barry.
Socialism has proven a failure over and over. Norway does fairly well with a form of socialism light. Nationalized oil revenues and a small population help.
Trying to convince their people that their failed policies are someone else’s fault
Jim Aird is a dodo.
We don’t need their oil there’s nothing there we want
Fails every time, yet foolish people just have to try it again…
middle east diversified when they had an almost monopoly on oil- one of the reasons saudi arabia is left alone in the war on isil is that it has massive investments in american multinationals-they have virtual slave labour and routinely violate the most basic human rights-one of the reasons the american economy continually skates just above disaster is the billions of interest america pays to the saudi royal family-don,t expect trump to fix that-he,s one of the guys who owe the saudis multimillions
NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!
Here you go Bernie – here’s what socialism does to what was once a great country. Why don’t you and your cohorts go down there to live.
